If you got the ability and the capability to make even one person's life better off, then DO IT.
Dooming doesn't fix light bulbs.
There is a lot we can do, are doing, and will have to do. So LETS DO IT.
lol noting that doomerism isn't a strategy isn't a criticism, it's an observation. No one is saying don't feel bad about bad things. What I'm saying is wading in that feeling doesn't make the bad thing go away.

Doomerism, at the end of the day, is about despair and APATHY. And what I'm saying is (continual) despair and apathy is NOT a strategy. It moves NOTHING forward.
However, hope, empathy, and ACTION does. Do with that what you will. ❤️

Feeling scared, sad, angry, frustrated, and all the things IS VALID. I've had panic attacks. I get it. No one is denying those feelings.
All I'm saying is believing that nothing can change, which is what doomerism IS, doesn't actually change anything.
